On May 3, 2017, guest speakers Eli Feuer and Michael Friedman presented a discussion on navigating Medicare and heath insurance options. It was a well-attended, detailed and informative review of various Medicare options. There was discussion of having another meeting on this topic during the fall enrollment period.
I’ve worked with Michael for years, and know that his knowledge of Medicare is above average. He cares about each client in a way that we don’t normally see from most agents. He’ll go the extra mile to make sure that every senior gets the best Medicare Supplement or Med Advantage plan that works best for their situation. If you are looking for a great insurance agent, look to Michael.
If I am paying for Medicare and also have AARP complete-why am I not financially eligible to see doctors that only take Medicare?
These doctors say that they do not accept my insurance- yet I do pay for Medicare.
Denny: Thank you for your post, and sorry for the delay in answering your concerns. AARP Complete is known as a Medicare Advantage plan, which means it is run much like an HMO – your MD has to be an “In-Network” provider for that specific plan. That is how the privatized, Medicare Advantage plans work. It is less burdensome to find MDs that take traditional Medicare, however doctors are allowed to “opt-out” of treating patients with Medicare. In your particular case, I recommend going to the UnitedHealtcare site to see what doctors in your area accept your plan (AARP Complete is managed by UnitedHealthcare) https://connect.werally.com/welcome-to-check-provider-coverage. I hope this helps. – Lonnie
